I think we'd all be fascinated to know if a GD Rom drive could properly dump for HD area, does a regular computer have the capacity to recognize it? This could open doors for properly dumping GD-Rs. Would love to see some tests if we can figure out how to hook it up to a Windows computer. Though it's unlikely to have the same full feature set as a plextor for dumping LD area.
HD area - if the hashes match what's in redump it's dumped correctly.
LD drives - you can often snag a compatible plextor for 40-60$ I'd you're patient.

sarami if you're still looking for this VCD http://redump.org/disc/74810/ which gives wonky errors, there's one in this pack that ships worldwide: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/265429499035
I think this could be a key to saving a lot of VCDs with dumping errors - it seems this DIC dumping bug effects many VCDs in general (maybe 10-15% from my experience).

I dumped my System Disc 2 twice and the the dense.bin is the same hash for both instances.
However the ice txt is problematic:

No Tracks are generated per usual. Any idea what the fix is?
The System Disc 2 HD area is only a single track, so hopefully that makes things easier to fix this.

Looks like get 3Dump.bin issue got fixed?
PS3 4.8.8 firmware could very well be the final. Anyone know if Evilnat 4.8.8 is compatible with redump? It would be nice to have a "final" dumping guide update so. Rebug CFW seems to be extinct afterall.

'bd' command supposes BDXL-R QL.
Is there an alternative command or I can't dump PS3 discs anymore?

I can't recall if this was the same error that my drives threw, but I've had a couple of Xbox discs, in great condition by all appearances, that wouldn't read. I suspect there was some manufacturing error that might have resulted in some discs having a short life. I know that at least one of the discs worked when it was new, but it no longer does. I also noticed that, when I scanned the disc in my flatbed scanner, the scan had lots of tiny little black spots, as if maybe the reflective layer has oxidized in some spots?
I've seen instances of chemical failure before on Xbox discs - not seeing any indicators here. I might send this to a friend to test on his 0800.

Also the feature to calculate enough free space is broken. I tried dumping a PS3 disc with 119GB free on my hard drive and I got an error. Neat feature though.
PS2 unlicensed dumping is broken again. How come this bug keeps regressing like 5 times now?

Huh? I've dumped the "stacked" saturn discs years ago. And what's the connection between "stacking" the discs and importance of having the scrambled checksums? We have lots of discs descrambled in unusual ways, lots of discs with mastering errors, if they don't have logs with .scm checksums - they will be nuked sooner or later.
You don't dump large amounts of discs. I don't think you even dump discs any more bro. So yeah, just because you have neurosis doesn't mean other people want their time wasted.
F1ReB4LL wrote:user7 wrote:I've got a good build bro, thanks.
I will personally nuke all the dumps made with unofficial/hacked tools, we don't need them. We don't accept the dumps from non-plextor drives, why should we accept dumps from some shady builds?
What's the problem to make a 4GB RAMdisk and do all the dumping stuff there? All the calculations will be instant.
Go for it. You're threatening years of my work because of a shit fit, I'm already done here.

No sympathy for people that dump stacks of discs at a time I see. I've got a good build bro, thanks.

Agreed. This would be awesome for those of us stuck dumping with older hardware.
http://forum.redump.org/post/57032/#p57032
I hereby veto Fireball. It's just a waste of time for everyone dumping a lot of discs and not worth adding just because someone thought the feature would be neat imo.
sarami wrote:user7 wrote:is it possible to make the latest dic test build a static link on GitHub (not Mediafire)?
Why Mediafire's link is bad?
Because it requires going through a website interface rather than a direct file link which could be pulled down via an automated process. MPF could add a "push button to automatically update to latest test build" feature in it. Then more people can use your test version and give you feedback.
Please please tyty <3 <3
Please unpin, this has been done.
Please unpin this is no longer news and part of the standard dumping guide.
sarami is it possible to make the latest dic test build a static link on GitHub (not Mediafire)? Darksabre wants to implement a "Update to latest test build" button in MPF to encourage more people to give you timely feedback - and having a static link directly to the latest test build file would allow him to do that. Many people still dump with old dic builds in DICUI/MPF and this would ensure new dumps are more likely to be using the latest dic.

Zuma's Revenge is better btw so do those next

Sarami needs a copy, not sure if he's accepting items directly.

Something else: It seems that unlicensed PS2 discs with intentional errors dumped with /sf no longer match the older dumps. Not sure what's going on here sarami since I know there's been a lot of back and forth about PS2 unlicensed discs / including some code regressions - but there's hundreds of discs in redump that won't match if redumped - many of which cannot be reacquired. IDR if anyone else has pointed this out yet, but if you have any such discs in your possession please run a test, I no longer do.

Possible to have dic dump with both write offsets automatically in these instances? So it can be manually combined later.
When I descrambled the scm the filesystem was empty. But isobuster dump has files in it (isobuster flagged a read issue too).
Anything can be done? or forever Non-Redump? This is a very rare Philips CD-i Japanese demo so would be nice to save if possible.

Never seen something like this before. The filesystem of the dump is empty. IsoBuster dump has edcchk errors too but has files in the filesystem.
